Paul was called on the Road to Damascus to be a missionary to the Gentiles (all who were not Jews). Later he and Barnabas were set apart by the Holy Spirit in the church at Antioch to travel to Asia, and later Europe, to tell the good news about Jesus.
Paul faced many difficullties in his travels, including being stoned, shipwrecked, beaten, and put in prison (several times). But he always trusted in God to take care of him, and he was never disappointed. Paul was always ready to tell about how he met Jesus on the Road to Damascus.
Next Sunday we will learn about Paul’s trip to Philippi, where he met Lydia, a wealthy woman who had become a Jew and was happy to hear that the Messiah had come. She believed in Jesus and was baptized.
Paul was traveling with Silas on this journey, and was beaten and thrown into prison after a disturbance caused by Jews who did not like Paul’s telling about Jesus. An earthquake shook the jail, freeing Paul and Silas from their chains. The Philippian jailer, seeing that the cell doors had opened, was about to kill himself rather than face the penalty for letting his prisoners escape.
Paul called out to the jailer not to harm himself, since the prisoners were all still there. At this, the jailer asked Paul, “What must I do to be saved?” Paul’s answer was “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”
This is a great story to share with others! Why jnot invite a friend this week?
